      Dont' take this the wrong way...in reference to your scare part...I am unemotional (have no emotional ties to any team/wager or bet) & have no bias at all. which greatly helps me to not bet with my emotions or my heart...am i cold hearted? yep! :sm: ofc does not mean I don't get excited etc. once agme is on...:thumbs:

          4*
          Cle -300

          *IMO Cle ties it up 2-2 tonight , then on Wednesday Bos @ Home takes 3-2 lead , & on Friday May 25 in Clev...Boston Wins it 4-2 goes to the Finals vs GSW

          **ATM i'm leaning all over Hou in game tomorrow vs GSW at least points wise...handing out at least +8.5 (saw a +9 in Vegas) to me is a 'Gimme Hous'

              Here Here! I'm always Happy if any series goes to the max. (ie. 4-3) etc. as it means more chances to score extra Profits & I'm all for that.

              Lebron IS the best current player , but , have to take into consideration that both Cle & Bos have ONLY like 7 or so players of 26 from last years squads...Lebron doesn't have the horses to back him up remember game other day he scored like 40+ (awesome job!) but teamwise did nothing & Cle lost...Bos on other hand is DEEP & has Younger Ponies er um Players :thumbs:...as usual time will tell...Tonight GO Cle!

                            Boston wins 83-96 & takes 3-2 series lead.

                            LBJ 26 pts & 6 TO...wait until Friday as i suspect it will get worse.

                              Good hit Max. Cavs are done now!

                              I took Bron because I had a gut feeling Cavs were going to reel off 4 in a row. But obviously gut failed me.

                                Thanks Truth777 , i'm just trying to improve.

                                Here is some thoughts:

                                In Game 5 vs the Celtics, LeBron James and Kevin Love combined for 40 points.

                                The Cavaliers other 3 starters (George Hill, J.R. Smith, and Tristan Thompson) combined for 10 points on 2-14 shooting.

                                Lebron states before game 5...Careless turnovers we can't have coz those young guys they get out and run and you can't catch 'em...Then Lebron has 6 TO & one sloppy pass lead to Tatum 3 pointer

                                first thought in my mind was what i had posted days prior on 5-21

                                >>>Lebron IS the best current player , but , have to take into consideration that both Cle & Bos have ONLY like 7 or so players of 26 from last years squads...Lebron doesn't have the horses to back him up remember game other day he scored like 40+ (awesome job!) but teamwise did nothing & Cle lost...Bos on other hand is DEEP & has Younger Ponies er um Players ...as usual time will tell...Tonight GO Cle!<<<

                                As for "Gut Feelings" i think we have all been there & my gut feeling (2nd thought) was game 6 MIGHT be last time we see Bron in Clev , as he can opt out of contract...he is a competitor , toss a challenge his way and he will compete as best he can. But to go down like this is just about Soul Crushing/Slow Death...

                                I've heard it said Ty Lue is Lebrons puppet , and that Bron wanted other players on team yet Lue didn't get it done and now as this series is in "Stick a Fork in 'em" mode it could be the straw that breaks the camels back...then read Lue was thrown for a "Loop" coz Stevens did NOT play Ojeleye , which lead to less play time for Korver...say WHAT? I thought Lue was a coach...he sure fooled me. IMO He gets my "Fork Trophy"...

                                Boston showing a lot of poise & nothing would cap their season more than going into Clev for game 6 & ending this series in Lebrons home court (even if it is by 1 point)!
